“The days of eternity shall pass on, and our eye shall never weary of looking on Him, but 'shall gaze upon His glories, as the eagle is said to do upon the meridian sun.' Ages upon ages pass, and still He is to us all in all.We admit the light from His person freely now; never did Moses so eagerly survey the goodly land from Pisgah, as we now survey the glories of the Lamb. We get to look into that heart where love has dwelt from everlasting, and where love shall dwell to everlasting.”
― Andrew Bonar, The Person of Christ: Finding Assurance by Walking With Jesus

“Happy is he alone, to whom the Lord imputeth not
sin. To have Him propitious to me, against whom alone
I have sinned, suffices for all my righteousness. If my
iniquity is great, Thy grace is much greater. When my
soul is troubled at the view of its sinfulness, I look at Thy
mercy , and am refreshed. It is a common good ; is
offered to all ; and he only who rejects it, is deprived of
its benefits. Let him rejoice who feels himself a wretch
deserving of perpetual damnation ; for the grace of Jesus
exceeds the number of all crimes. There is no sin greater
than to despair of the forgiveness of sin ; for God is kind
and merciful, ready to forgive.”
― Bernard of Clairvaux
